Importance & Virtues Of Dua

Dua is a means of keeping in touch with Allah and due to Dua, we get closer to our Lord. So, Dua is a source of keeping the supplicant closer to the Almighty Allah. Dua is not only a submission about our needs before Allah Almighty but it is a form of worship as well.

Dua is very important in the life of Muslims because Dua is like a conversation with Allah Almighty in which we put our needs before Him and ask His help in the resolution of our problems. We ask from Almighty Allah for everything that we want in our life no matter how big or small.

Connecting with Allah SWT is something of high value for Muslims. They often don’t have time for it or the know-how. This is where the Power of Dua comes in. Everything in Islam revolves around Dua. But we often hear complaints from other people that they are not able to make Dua.

The use of dua has significantly been emphasized in the Quran and Sunnah and is a means for people to draw closer to Allah.

Allah Almighty says in the Holy Quran:

“When my servants ask you concerning me, (tell them) I am indeed close (to them). I listen to the prayer of every suppliant when he calls on me.” (Quran, 2:186).

The importance of dua can be evaluated from this Hadith:

“Nothing is more honorable to Allah the Most High than Dua.”
[Sahih al-Jami` no.5268]
